Talk:Youth orchestra

The UK is in Europe

I included England in the section United Kingdom and UK to Europe (as far as I know the UK is still part of Europe). --Karljoos (talk) 11:31, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Problems with the articles National Youth and Youth Orchestras

I see several problems with this page:

• it is a disambiguation page, where re-directs the entry “Youth Orchestra”, when actually there is no article about youth orchestras. I think it would be to to have the article “Youth Orchestra”
• I don’t see the point having two different disambiguation pages for Youth Orchestras and National Youth Orchestras.

What I suggest is: let’s create the article “Youth Orchestra”, regarding the general topic and explaining the types of Youth Orchestras (national, local or whatever) and then have a single list of youth orchestras. Thank you. --Karljoos (talk) 20:45, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I totally agree, and thank you for volunteering. Maybe you could use this disambiguation page as a starting off point. I look forward to seeing the result. ♦ Jongleur¹⁰⁰ ♦ ^talk 22:24, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Still has problems - is anyone planning to work on this? May be better moved to List of youth orchestras rather than left as a disambig page. --Mervyn (talk) 14:49, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Good grief. I took one look at this and the other page, and immediately thought to myself, "These are both List articles, not DAB pages -- and WHY on earth are they separate??" Glad to see I'm not the only one. Plainly they need to be merged into a single article called List of youth orchestras, with "National youth orchestras" as a major section. As soon as I have a little time to spare I will take care of this. Cgingold (talk) 13:58, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

"Notable" ensembles

What determines if a youth orchestra is "notable"? As far as I can see, the long list of English youth orchestras seems to be somewhat of an attempt of a complete list rather than an excerpt. Wouldn't it be wise to maybe start an article List of youth orchestras and integrate List of youth orchestras in the United States into it? –intforce (talk) 18:56, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Regarding the latter, it seems that List of symphony orchestras (which currently includes some youth ensembles) could be split into a list of "professional" orchestras and List of youth orchestras. Dewiki has a (somewhat halfhearted) list at de:Liste von Jugendorchestern. –intforce (talk) 19:00, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

I'm working on this now. intforce (talk) 09:40, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
